Sergey Shargunov and Governor of the Belgorod Region Yevgeny Savchenko. Representatives of 45 regions of Russia gathered here to elect the chairman of the movement, the presidium and other governing bodies and officially register the movement as the All -Russian.

All day at the central intersections of the city, activists held pickets, and at the Yuzhnaya Hotel, where the congress was held, the tipsy delegates in red-yellow T-shirts rummaged aimlessly.

We still do not like the“ united Russia ”that“ United Russia ”is lagging behind the principles of political monopoly ".
